Bab 4: Blue and Oak
Blue is both a childhood friend and a rival of Red.
They were born on the same day, in the same month, and in the same year, as if by fate.
Blue was born into a wealthy family, with parents who worked far away, while his grandfather is a renowned Pokémon professor known around the world.
This background unintentionally gave Blue an arrogant personality, causing him to look down on others.
Given this attitude, no one would expect that Blue would become friends with someone who is quiet and has never spoken before.
Red.
The two are as close as brothers, always by each other's side and hanging out together. Their friendship is beautiful.
During a summer camp organized by Professor Oak, Red went missing, which made Blue extremely anxious. He even called the adults useless for not being able to find Red.
With a personality like his, it's understandable that he isn't well-liked in town, but he doesn't care.
It's undeniable that he is a tsundere when it comes to Red.
"What are you thinking?" Blue asked, noticing Red deep in thought.
"..."
"Thinking about the past?"
"..."
"Oh, I see! WAIT A MINUTE, YOU JERK! WHY ARE YOU REMEMBERING THAT EMBARRASSING MEMORY?!" Blue exclaimed, blushing as he looked at Red.
Only Blue understands what Red is trying to say, even though Red is as silent as a rock.
"..."
"Grandpa is in the forest, he just found a Pokémon from Johto and decided to observe it. Why don't you go check it out?"
"..."
"Go together? Are you crazy? Who would want to go with you?" Although he said this, Blue walked ahead of Red.
Knowing his friend's personality, Red followed him.
The two opened the door, but Blue stopped halfway.
"...?"
Seeing Blue halt, Red looked ahead to see what was there.
It was Cuckmaster, whose head was currently stuck in the ground.
"..." Both were silent as Blue turned to look at Red.
"Do you know this clown?"
"..." Red shook his head, trying to act like he didn't know him.
Seeing this, Blue turned and kicked Cuckmaster in the rear.
"AGH!"
Cuckmaster got up, his face dirty and covered in dirt.
"Hey! That hurt dude!!" Cuckmaster pointed at Blue.
Blue looked at him with disdain and walked past without saying a word.
"W-What? Why does no one respect me??" Cuckmaster said angrily, then turned to Red.
Red clasped his hands in an apologetic gesture and walked by.
"At least someone cares, but he's mute..."
As Blue continued, he saw a girl with pink hair poking at a Caterpie with a stick.
"This caterpillar doesn't look very pretty, but if you look closely, it's quite cute, Fairygoth!"
"Yeah," Fairygoth mumbled from behind a bush, only responding with a few murmurs.
"Don't be scared! That one was a caterpillar too, right?" (No.)
"Uh..."
Blue looked at the two girls, wondering if he had seen them before.
He moved on and spotted a black-haired guy chatting happily with his sister.
"Honestly, I think you're really beautiful."
"Oh, thank you~ You're so young, yet you have such a sweet mouth!"
"Thanks, and you're only three years older than me, right?"
"..." Blue froze as he saw that guy flirting with his sister; he clenched his fists and his face turned tense.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING TO MY SISTER?!?"
"Huh?"
A punch landed on Bob's cheek, sending him flying a few times before crashing into a nearby tree.
"B-Blue! Why did you hit him like that?!"
"Then why did you let him flirt as if it were perfectly normal?!"
"Well... when I went outside, he came to talk to me. I didn't expect that after chatting for a while, he would start saying romantic things..."
Noticing her sister's slightly embarrassed expression, Blue realized she had fallen for him.
Blue was nearly furious and was about to go beat that guy up so he would never show his face again.
Seeing this, Red panicked and quickly stopped him, while Bob got up and rubbed his cheek.
Bob glared at Blue with an angry expression.
"What a damn NPC! I flirted just a little, and you hit me? Is he a siscon or something?"
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!"
"What?! Does this NPC understand what I'm saying?" Bob was startled, looking at Blue, who was getting angrier by the second.
Red was starting to feel exhausted; he silently begged someone to intervene and stop this...

"This is the forest outside the town, huh..."
Rey looked around, noticing many strange creatures.
There were two insects, a purple mouse, and a bird.
"These creatures are all cute in their own way..."
Rey continued walking, completely unaware that a creature was watching him intently from behind.
"Huh?"
Rey noticed an old man in a lab coat lying on the ground, looking at something.
As Rey was about to approach, suddenly, a bird swooped down to attack him.
"What?!" Rey was startled as the bird aimed to attack him again from behind.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!!"
The bird pecked him on the head, and he tried to push the bird away with his hands, but it didn't help much.
Suddenly, a needle shot out from the bushes, attacking the bird.
The bird was hit and turned to face the creature hiding in the bushes.
Rey was startled to realize that the creature hiding in the bushes was the Weedle he had fed.
It was scared but bravely attacked the bird, making it angry.
The bird was about to dive in to eat the insect when a voice rang out:
"Butterfree, use Gust!"
A small whirlwind appeared, striking the bird and causing it to fly away in fear.
Rey felt the danger had passed and looked at the beautiful butterfly.
"Hey, kid, are you alright?" The old man approached and helped him up.
"Th-Thank you," he said, looking at the old man and then at the Butterfree beside him.
"May I ask... who are you?"
"Huh? Is this the first time you've met me?"
"Uh, yes..."
"No worries, no worries! My name is Oak, just a regular Pokémon professor!"
